For the past two and a half years, I’ve been ferreting around the internet looking for ways to make money online. I’ve clicked on all of the work from home ads, all of the get rich quick ads and even some of the ads that most self-respecting internet surfer wouldn’t touch with a barge pole. All that I really found was that these opportunities were either too complicated for my little overworked brain to cope with, or that some of these schemes just reeked of scam. And the fact that I didn’t have anything to sell (apart from my soul) made me question myself as to why I was bothering at all.

Three months ago I was given some information about how a one page website can make me serious money. I was of course cynical at first but I listened on, and I’m very glad I did. Here’s what I found out and please remember that at the time I was a complete beginner.

All I had to do was create a web page and find a product to give away. Give away? I thought, that doesn’t make any sense. I listened on.
My free product had to be downloadable, and if somebody wanted this product, they had to give me their name and email address. My eyes were narrowing somewhat at this point because I couldn’t see the connection between emails and money at all. I nodded my head and made my ‘still interested’ face.
Once I had their email address, they went on to my list. My list would be my source of income. I would need an auto responder to manage my list and send out all of the emails which would contain my promotions and affiliate links. My ‘interested face’ morphed into my ‘very interested’ face.

This all sounded too easy to be true, but it really is easy to set this up. I learned how to make a web page and get it online. I found an eBook with giveaway rights which cost me very little. I signed up to an auto responder which isn’t expensive at all. That’s the beauty of this method of making money on the net. The rewards can be high for very little outlay.

It costs nothing to be an affiliate, and I was astonished at how simple it was to set up a complete working business online. Once your business is set up, the hard work really begins. When I started in this business, I found generating traffic to my web page the most difficult thing in the whole process of having an online business. But as the weeks went by, I learned new traffic building strategies. That’s what makes this method so enjoyable for me. I’m learning something new and wonderful every day. The internet can be a wonderful place and I’m having a blast.
